Pencils, Continued Sandpaper pad To sharpen a lead to a chiseled, beveled, or flat point with a sandpaper pad, (Continued) follow this table: Step Action 1 Expose 3/8 inch of the lead. 2 Hold the lead against the sandpaper pad at an angle. (See figure 1- 9.) 3 Draw the lead back and forth across the sandpaper. 4 Turn the pencil around 180 degrees. 5 Draw the lead across the sandpaper to approximately the same angle and depth as the other side. This will produce a chisel point. 6 Drawing the lead across the sandpaper favoring the left or right side or drawing the tip across the sandpaper at a 90-degree angle produces a left-beveled, right-beveled, or flat lead point. 7 Be sure to wash you hands and clean the surrounding area of graphite particles before drawing. Figure 1-9 illustrates the angle necessary to produce a proper chiseled, beveled, or flat point.
